During the 2018 construction season, US-12 will get a $17 million facelift to revitalize aging infrastructure and to enhance safety throughout the corridor. Work on US-12 will include the replacement of two bridges and the resurfacing of more than 50 miles of the highway between Lowell and the Idaho-Montana border. Construction will likely begin as early as April and conclude as late as October 2018.

• For the latest updates and information, visit the US-12 Construction website and map or check 511.idaho.gov.

Delays through the four project work zones are expected to be at a minimum two hours.
Because the corridor is constrained within a narrow river canyon with numerous curves and limited passing opportunities, travelers are advised to expect major delays that could exceed the minimum expected wait times.

Work zones include:

• Tumble Creek and Saddle Camp Road (23 miles): June/July to October
• Springs Pack Bridge and the Idaho-Montana border (27 miles): May/June to October
• Fish Creek Bridge near Bald Mountain: April to October
• Maggie Creek Bridge near Kooskia: April to October

Throughout the corridor, travelers will experience a one-lane closure in each of the four construction zones. For each of the paving projects, flaggers and pilot cars will guide traffic through work areas. For the bridge replacements, portable signals will facilitate traffic movement.

Travelers on US-12 will experience construction delays upwards of two hours for the entire corridor, but after this construction-intense summer, ITD does not anticipate any major projects for another two to three years.

This project will realign a section of US-95 to improve safety. With help from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the department evaluated many alternatives for the new highway alignment, including western, central and eastern routes. The final eastern route (E2) was chosen after a multi-year environmental review process. ITD received a Record of Decision (ROD) from FHWA in March of 2016 that gave ITD the authority to begin final design and to purchase land.

A legal motion was brought against FHWA and ITD regarding the Environmental Impact Statement and Record of Decision for this project. In August 2017, the U.S. District Court for Idaho ruled against the motion in favor of FHWA and ITD. In January 2018, an appeal to the ruling was filed in the ninth circuit court. The deadline for ITD and FHWA to comment on the appeal is March 31, 2018.

ITD does not anticipate a decision until sometime later this year and will continue with the right-of-way process. The department expects to complete final design plans this spring.

Public Meeting Materials
ITD held a public meeting on Dec. 14, 2016 to give the community an opportunity to learn about the project and give input on the preliminary design. Materials from the meeting included:

• Meeting summary
• Welcome and project background
• Recommended improvements
• What’s next

Project Description
The Idaho Transportation Department is designing improvements to the intersection of U.S. 12 and 21st Street in downtown Lewiston. The improvements are expected to improve safety and traffic flow at this busy intersection.

Project Background
The intersection of U.S. 12 and 21st Street serves as a gateway to downtown Lewiston and is an important regional trucking route. Congestion and delays at the intersection have continued to rise. In addition, the pavement has reached the end of its useful life.

In 2015, a traffic study was completed for several potential design options for the intersection. Each option was analyzed for potential delay times, traffic backups and how the option would help address congestion. The traffic study showed that realigning the intersection would reduce delays, improve sight distance and reduce the risk of crashes. ITD is now in the process of redesigning the intersection and preparing engineering documents for construction.

Activities and Schedule
Conducted traffic analysis study: Completed in 2015
Gather public comments: Winter 2016
Complete preliminary design plans: Spring 2017
Prepare final design plans: Fall 2017
Begin construction: Anticipated to begin in 2018/2019

ITD is committed to working with the community during this project. Comments from the public will help ITD design an intersection that serves the community. Comments, questions and ideas are welcome at any point in the project.

COMPLETE: US-12, Arrow Bridge to Big Canyon Creek
ITD contractor Knife River Corporation replaced 20 miles of asphalt on US-12 between Lewiston and Orofino. The project was completed between April and June 2017 for $5.3 million.

COMPLETE: US-12/US-95, Lewiston to Spalding
To enhance the safety of the highway, ITD contractor Knife River Corporation resurfaced 12 miles of US-12/US-95 from Lewiston to Spalding between May and August 2017. The highway was resurfaced by recycling the existing base of the highway and combining it with cement. Although the project was bid at $9 million, ITD took advantage of low prices and advanced another project. The advanced project, which would have added another layer to the roadway seven years after the initial work was completed, increased the total cost of the highway work to $10.5 million.

COMPLETE: US-95 and ID-8, Moscow Pavement Repairs
ITD contractor Poe Asphalt Paving Inc. replaced pavement along stretches of US-95 and ID-8 through Moscow. A rough winter in 2016 prompted ITD and the city of Moscow to complete the repairs one year earlier than anticipated. During construction, bicycle and pedestrian facilities were also improved. Work was completed between May and October 2017 for $3.9 million.
